This ski has 100 hrs on it and I have continually had problems with it hydro locking with oil for years if it sits for even a week . So like always pull plugs blow it out and runs great . Oil has to be leaking in to cylinders ? Any idea ? Thoughts

Bad crank seals. You could put a shut off valve inline to minimize oil from leaking (you'll need to remember to turn it on). Or remove and disassemble the engine to get another crank with new seals.

Someone else could chime in, I'm not sure if there's any other way to fix this issue.

Makes sense now . GreAtly appreciate your post now I know what direction to head .

That's the issue and even with a valve eventually the seals will get bad enough that it will be too much oil when running. The correct way to fix it is a new crank.

I just pulled an 657X engine that was leaking oil into the crankcase. There was a valve in the line.

I put a in-line valve to cut off oil flow in the winter months, just in case. I wrap the lanyard on the valve that way I never forget to open it up before starting.
